present-invention relates to improve- "Tmentsinliair nets in theform of a hood or reticulated cap for ladies wear for the pur pose of preserving the shape and formation fures.

of the coifi'ure or head-dress during sleep, as well as for use in the-nature, of a boudoir or dressing cap or hair covering.

The hair net is especially adapted for bobbed hair in the retention of the shape in which the hair is dressed, and for. holding the dressed hair against displacement. Means are provided for fastening the net in various ways to adapt it for difierent forms or styles of hair dressing, and for adjusting the hair net or reticulated cap to the head of the wearer.

The invention consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of parts whereby an attractive and useful article of this type is provided, as will hereinafter be more fully set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention wherein the parts are combined and arranged according to the best mode I have thus far devised for the application of the principles of my invention, andvarious ways for fastening the cap or hair net on the head of the wearer are shown in the drawings.

Figure .1 is a perspective view showing the hair net in place with the fastening tapes or ribbons tied under thechin.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the article involving my invention showing it in position as worn with the fastening ribbons or tapes untied.

Figure 3 is a profile view showing the hair not tied at the back of the neck.

Figure 4 is a profile view showing the fastening ribbons or tapes tied across the forehead-in the form of a bandeau.

Figure 5 is a detail perspective view show ing a portion of the front tape or ribbon, and a looped end or slip-loop of the rear tape thereon.

The hair net or reticulated cap 1 is made up in suitable sizes, shapes and colors and may be fashioned from natural hair, silk, or other suitable material, adapting it to various shapes or styles of hair dressing At the front of the net a reinforcing tape 2, preferabl of silk ribbon is used, forming an arch or andeau-effect as indicated at 3 and passing from the forehead down over or coifand concealing or partially concealing the ears to the neck. At its front edge the cap is fashioned with loops 4 made up preferably of the hair or other reticulated material forming the cap and the tape 2 is passed through and permanently retained in these loops.

The. ends 5, 6 of the front tape are of suitable length to permit tying, and are provided at their extremities with ornamental rosettes as 7.

A second tape 8 is passed through loops 9 atthe rear edge ofthe net, and at the front of the net this tape is fashioned with slip loops 10 and 11 fashioned from the material of the tape and stitched thereto or secured in other suitablemanner, as best seen in Figure 5.

The front tape thus is loosely retained in the front, looped, edge of the cap with its ends adapted for fastening means and the h1 ,61s,soo' [UNITED STATES PATENT 0 front portion of the cap or net may readily be adjusted to proper position on the tape for neatly enclosing the coifiure of the wearer. The rear tape is also loosely en gaged by the series of loops at the rear edge of the cap or hair net and the net is thus adapted tofreely position itself under the coifi'ure at the back of the neck as the body of the net or can is stretched in usual manner over the coiifure.

vBy drawing. on the ends 5 and 6 of the front tape the cap or hair net is drawn to proper position not only with relation to the forehead and crown of the head, but also with relation to the back of the head, by the co-action of the front and rear tapes, as in- 'dicated best in Figure 1. 5

Various modes may be adopted by the wearer for fastening the cap in place as indicated in Figures 1, 3 and 4 where the ribbon ends are tied respectively under the chin, back of the neck and over the forehead. In all of the positions the frontvand rear tapes co-act to draw the body of the net or cap over the entire area of the coifl'ure, and the different modes of tying the bowknotand locating the ends of the front tape may be selected by the wearer at will.

As before stated the tapes may be of selected material as vribbon of various colors or shades and the body of the reticulated cap, or hair net is made up of various materials, preferably natural hair, in various shades or colors. t I

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is.

L A hair net having a series of loops at 1 its front edge and a series of loops at its rear edge, a front fastening tape havin free ends passed through the front series of oops, a rear tape passed through the rear ser es of loops, and a slip-connection between the ends of the rear tape and the front tape.

2. A hair net having spaced 100 s along its front and rear edges, a rear tape oosely carried in the loops at the rear edge and hav-.

ing loops at its front ends, a front tape loosely carried in the loops at the front edge of the net, and fastening ends of said front tape passed through the loops of the rear 7 its front and rear ed es, a rear tape loosely carried in the loops 0 the rear edge and provided at its front ends with guide means,

and a front tape loosely carried in the loops of the front e ge with its free ends passed through said guide means.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
